The US Constitution says the Senate’s role is advise and consent not roll over for any nomination made by a president. Schumer was against W’s appointments in 2007 because it was near the ‘end’ of W’s term. Obama blocked nominations while Senator in 2008.
So the Republican Senators besides following the Constitution are following the examples set by Democrats.
